The Food Computer “creates a controlled environment using robotic control systems and actuated climate, energy, and plant sensing mechanisms. Not unlike climate-controlled data centers optimized for rows of servers, FCs are designed to optimize agricultural production by monitoring and actuating a desired climate inside of a growing chamber.” Cited by IEEE Spectrum, 1/2016

“The combination of open sourced digital plant recipes, open technology platforms, and the IoP will lead to the democratization of food production enabled by massive communities of users.” (Hapert & Siller, 2015:27)
